6 campsites on the Upper Salmon River. Fishing for trout and steelhead in the river, with a boat ramp for access. This was one of Lewis and Clark`s campsites during their historic exploration of the west
Traveler
Site 5, probably the best. Clean, cheap, safe, right on the river. 5 miles from downtown.Sure,it’s close to the road, but it’s not that bad. I probably wouldn’t make it a 5 day vacation site,but I’m sure people do. I’d stay here again
Traveler
The campground owner Libby was very helpfull and nice to us. Its very close to the city. So you can walk and leave your camper on the ground.
Guide
I stayed here for one night. It is $5 per night. I had decent Verizon signal. There were at least eight camping areas. While I stayed here about half were full. The camping limit for this area is 14 days. There is a camping host that lives here so you cannot overnight park for free. There is river access. The only plot that I found that I could use my hammock at was plot 8. Just because of the lack of strong trees.
Guide
7 spots off the beaten path, small creek lehmi. On the Lewis and Ckark trail. Bathroom is ADA.
Traveler
Pretty small and basic campground. I counted what I think was 9 sites? There are no numbered sites, just designated fire rings to indicate the different sites I suppose. One large accesible pit toilet is available. Most sites back up to the river which is pretty nice. FREE and pretty quiet for the Saturday night I stayed - 4 open spots at 8:30pm. Only downside is it’s rather close to the highway and you can hear cars driving by pretty regularly.
ScoutAs the previous camper indicated, this is a quiet and lovely Campground. Please note I found only one site with electrical hookup. Currently, there is no water at any sites. Vault toilets are located throughout. Fees are $12 with $6 discount if you have Federal/Natl Park Golden Pass.
Traveler
I’ve stayed in many forest service cabins and this is by far my least favorite. The location is perfect as it’s right on como and can fit large groups of people. However, we stayed in the winter and the fireplaces needed to be refilled hourly to keep it somewhat comfortable. Also all night you could hear mice and some other kind of animal in the ceiling. It was very dirty and not well maintained. Most of the furniture was broken. Would never stay again.
RangerStoped for an overnight on our way to glacier. Clean and nice park.
Traveler
The management is absolutely incredible! This place is perfect. Access to river to look at great! Renamed to Andreas on the River.
The management helped us get in and made sure we were good. Super 5 stars! Great location near River for rafting. (30 min drive)
The other visitors are a little opinionated and like to share their opinions on your RV.
Super loved it all day! Stay there!
Dog park area is not fenced in. Nice place for them to do business.
Guide
This campground was lovely. We had spot 14, which is an excellent spot with lots of room, easy access to a vault toilet and lovely background noise from the creek. Camp hosts are very welcoming and accommodating.
Traveler
Beautiful grass in most of the spots. Fire rings, bathrooms near by. We have a 26 ft TT and this was perfect right off highway. Only stayed one day due to it being a little warm and we were heading up north. Did have shade and it cooled off at night . Lots of room for our dogs to run by site without bothering others.
Guide
This is a nice little camping spot. Not full on memorial Day weekend. I can only assume it will be busy for the Four of July. There are some nice trails nearby.
Guide
The camp grounds were not busy, and no mosquitoes right now. Fishing was slow but we caught fish. Saw lots of animals even a video of a Grizzly not but 3 miles from the camp grounds. Another camper had the video of the Grizzly from the night before!
Scout
A ton of dispersed sites right near the creek, but poorly taken care of by campers. We encountered more trash here than we’ve ever seen camping before. I mean, full trash bags left behind that were of course then scavenged by wildlife and spread all over. We also found human poop and used toilet paper in multiple spots, even though there IS a toilet provided here! We found tampons too…it was seriously disgusting…and obviously a popular spot for burning pallets because we found handfuls of nails scattered around, so be mindful of your tires!! This area just seems to attract a different kind of camping crowd, one that doesn’t respect the land or keeping it clean and better than you found it. It was pretty unfortunate because it really is a pretty and overall peaceful area.
Traveler
I would not recommend end of July/ August. Temps 100 and no breeze. Plenty to see if traveling in vehicle like bighorn sheep, whitetail deer and bald eagles. Recommend a visit to the firefighter memorial at Indian river FS training camp.
Legend
Nice little campsite near a small, quiet fishing lake. About 5 sites here with a pit toilet. No cell service. 10 mile rocky road in, but saw a fifth wheel, so its not impassable by any means! There’s also South Van Houten on the other side, but I can’t imagine this serene little patch of heaven gets too full. Saw folks swimming, fishing, and boating in the lake.
Legend
Nice small camping area with about 5 sites, complete with picnic tables and fire rings with grills. It was a fairly long drive down a somewhat road but wide gravel road, but I did see a truck with a big fifth wheel on it, so you can definitely do it!
Fishing in lake, just no motorized boats. Pit toilets. Pretty area!
ScoutSmall quiet campground just off the highway ( though you can’t see it and rarely hear it.) very quiet. Nice host.
Scout
This camp site was great. We visited the lake that was maybe 5 minutes away from the sites and swam out to a little island to cliff jump! It was a beautiful and well kept site. I would definitely recommend taking a reliable car because the road is a little difficult to the sites, but worth it.
GuideFrom the highway 93 turn it is 4.6 miles to where we camped. The last 2.3 miles of the drive was on a fairly rough, but very manageable, forest road. (Mostly washboard and a few holes) It was 11.8 miles from our camp to Darby, and about 13 miles to the Yellowstone Ranch.
We grabbed a nice big spot right next to Lost Horse Creek late Friday afternoon. Another RV came into the area later in the evening and crowded us a little bit but we still had plenty of room to spread out. The road in is BUSY. We have camped at a number of dispersed locations over the years and this was BY FAR the busiest forest road we have seen. On Friday night we counted 50 cars passing by before we stopped counting. We drove west down the road a ways Saturday and saw a handful of other sites, but not enough to justify the traffic. We found out that “Twin Lakes” is about 20 miles down the rough forest road from our campsite. We didn’t venture that far as we could only go about 8-10 MPH max in our truck on the washboard road. Maybe we should have tried because it seemed to be quite the attraction given the traffic. This place will do in a pinch but if you are looking for a quiet dispersed camping area kept driving. This is not for you!
Guide
We were the only ones there, each spot is super private, there aren’t many spots. Ours was right on the river and we could easily go down and swim from our site. Fully dispersed no services, no cell signal (verizon). Only con is that it is close enough to hwy 93 that you can see and hear cars going by, but it’s not a super busy road.
GuideThis is my favorite area for dispersed camping in the area. Lost Horse creek is beautiful. Can get a little tight with campers in peak season.
TravelerWonderful location near the river. Not too many people
GuideGreat view of the mountains and plenty of sites. Wasn’t too busy but others were around. There were bathrooms and some sites had fire rings. 93 is close so there is some mild highway noise but nothing unbearable. Bathroom was reasonably clean and stocked with toilet paper. I had full bars with Verizon (the cell tower was within line of sight) but my friend with t-mobile had no service whatsoever. Overall a nice inviting site.
ScoutThis spot was Amazing! Our room was stunning. So charming, spacious, cozy, Fun, and had everything we could ever need. On top of the wonderful accommodations, the STAFF! The staff and owner went Above and Beyond for us when my boyfriend left behind a beloved baseball cap in our room. Totally our fault, and we figured we’d never see the sentimental item again. On a whim, I called Travellers Rest and they couldn’t have been nicer. They found the hat and mailed it from Darby to Bozeman and we had it back in no time. It was so kind and truly showed the heart of this cool spot. We would Love to stay here again when in the area!
Guide
It is a long gravel road to get there but worth the trip! It’s beautiful! We fished off the dock and was visited by a large otter!

Enjoyed our 1 night stay at the campground. First come first serve but mid September easy to get site. Electric and water hook up nice. Nice walk to dam overlooking lake. Quiet and pleasant stay.
